First Team Manager Tony Gulliver and his family are fronting a new kids programme in Coventry called didi rugby, and are welcoming rugby-based activity classes for 18 months – 6 year olds from June.
The didi rugby Coventry team are offering a FREE taster session on the 16th June at the Butts Park Arena, Butts Road, Coventry, CV1 3GE for any families who wish to bring their children along to trial a session.
The launch on the 16th June will also be an opportunity to meet players from our recently promoted Championship side, such as Club Captain Phil Boulton and Nile Dacres.
Vicky Macqueen (BEM) founder of didi rugby and ex-England rugby international said: “I am super excited to kick off didi rugby at Coventry Rugby.
“With the success they have had this year and how forward thinking the club are, Didi Rugby can’t wait to link with the Gulliver’s and Coventry Rugby to inspire more children to get active and involved in rugby in the area “
The didi rugby Coventry team fronted by Tony Gulliver, who was capped 381 times for his city, believes it is such an exciting time for rugby and the city of Coventry.
